* Matthew Borlenghi is coming to Salem to play Mayor. More word when we talk with him, later in the day.

* Bryan Friday is playing the part of the masked man, stalking Marlena, starting August 5. This comes directly from my pal at DAYS. Interestingly enough, Bryan is well known for his work as a stunt man, stunt driver or stunt double. Perhaps this is evil Bart?

* Brandon DeShazer will play Harry, the detective we've seen work the computer at the Salem PD.
